Episode 72 – Tom Potter: Extended Interview

What this episode covers

The Third Men Podcast is proud to present an all-new exclusive extended interview with legendary Detroit rock powerhouse Thomas Jackson Potter! Jack White fans know Tom for many projects over the years, such as membership in The Dirtbombs, prominent inclusion on Jack's <em>Sympathetic Sounds of Detroit</em> compilation and most notably as the frontman for Detroit's quintessential two-piece rock group BANTAM ROOSTER. Like the <em>Flat Duo Jets</em> before them, Bantam Rooster blazed the trail for two-piece potential in the rock world, and paved the way for The White Stripes in the years that followed. Tom's electrifying guitar sound is the perfect blend of high-energy rock and carefully crafted melody, and his extraordinary talents can be heard on countless records from the 80's, 90's and beyond - including the now-classic <em>Ultraglide in Black</em> LP from The Dirtbombs and Bantam's 2000 Sympathy release <em>F*ck All Y'All</em>. As friend and collaborator with artists such as Jack White, Mick Collins and Jim Diamond, Tom helped define the Detroit rock sound during the turn of the millennium and continues to push musical boundaries to this day with innovative groups like <em>Seger Liberation Army</em> and <em>Choke Chains</em>. We here at the Third Men podcast would like to thank Tom for joining us for one of the most fun, lively discussions we've ever had on the show and hope everyone has as much fun listening as we had interviewing!<br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
